the familiar boat pattern seen everywhere in Lampung province elaborately decorated, this wood device is used to signal alert in Lampung villages, announce deaths (so the body can be buried as quickly as possible), and other events before there was electricity, cell phones, radio, tv, etc...
a picture of resisting the dutch. Hard to tell who the King or prince is leading the charge... they start looking alike to me. Sultan Badaruddin II? Raden Inten II?
weapons of very different ages, which were probably all used in the various struggles to wrestle free of Dutch control over the years.
